About the ECHO
Nursing homes across New England are invited to participate in weekly 90-minute live, virtual, learning sessions focused on implementing and adopting infection prevention and control practices. Unlike typical webinars, ECHO sessions provide time for you to discuss real cases, to ask experts for advice, and to learn from colleagues about how to make improvements in the real world.
ECHO sessions are open to any nursing home teams, but in order to receive the incentive payment of $6,000 per home, a minimum of 2 staff must participate in at least 13 of 16 sessions. Nursing homes will also receive support with implementation and adoption of quality improvement practices.
